Cell Hover Highlight

Highlight the resource row and date column on cell hover to improve usability by clearly showing where the user is interacting.

This is achieved using the onCellHoverIn and onCellHoverOut lifecycle events. These track the hovered cell and update the resources with a custom cssClass, which highlights the resource row. A popup is also shown on hover, displaying relevant information about the cell like the date and resource name.

The column highlight is applied using the renderCell, renderSidebar, renderTimelineDay, and renderDayFooter callbacks, where conditional markup is returned to highlight the vertical column.

This makes it easy to implement custom hover interactions that match your design and UX goals.
